Waiting too long till the cupboard is bare is a big negative....'Hiring who you want' vs 'hiring someone because you have to fill a spot' is not seen by anyone as favorable ...Fans and players like to know the direction the team is headed............................I see today the Als. have lost Greg Quick to the Argos as he's their new D coordinator....Clubs getting things done early
Comments like that always baffle me.
”god I hope we sign this absolutely stupid ******* idiot who is hopelessly and selfishly clinging to an NFL dream, doesn’t this moron know the Bombers are his only shot to play pro football in front of us, these amazing fans? What a clown!”
There's a 0% chance Elgersma signs here before the end of the next NFL season. And at that it would be if he's getting no calls and looks in January-February 2027.
4 weeks on a NFL PR and he makes more than he would on CFL deal. If he's on a roster for OTA's and training camp he'll basically make a full year of CFL salary on a rookie deal in per diem and pay.
If he signs with us he won't be playing any time soon. He won't really be in a spot to succeed. They won't be building an offense around him.
There's no incentive at this point for him to sign here, or the CFL generally.
